We get clients that send us screenshots but they use their phone to photograph their laptop
A curse for you: A crooked scan of a printout of a cell phone picture of someone's screen, embedded in the first top left cell in an otherwise empty Excel document, attached to an email, with read receipts turned on. Marked urgent.
I actually once had a client do the image embedded in an Excel document thing. You know how people use Excel for absolutely everything, even when they shouldn't? Yeah. Some people really live their lives that way. I pointed out that they could have just attached the picture by itself to the email, but did not receive a response. You can't help some people.
I had one that took a screen shot, printed it, scanned it back in as a pdf, and emailed it to me.
Not as traumatic as yours, but still a head scratcher once you realize why the quality of the image is so crappy.
Someone sent me code snippets that I needed by putting a screenshot of the code in a word document and sending me that by email.
“Screenshots”
Me when I need to send a screenshot on discord on my phone and I'm playing on my steam deck..
I've done that when I need to send something quickly from an airgapped system.
